I'll play along.
1. First off, its just condensation. Condensation means WATER. Corrosive by definition is having the power to corrode. Corrode by definition is to wear away gradually usually by chemical reation. So I must ask, how can water (with the neutral pH of 7) be corrosive?
2. Most people have this problem only on the dipstick tube. I am willing to bet you only have it on your dipstick as well. Did you check your oil pan for this? Or are you just assuming it is there because its on the dipstick?

1- At first it's water then it mixes with the oil, a chemical reaction of the oil is to emulsify kind of absorb the water into the oil molecules and have it burned off, this oil/water mix is the foam we see, that is corrosive not just water, besides that if water is so harmless how does it rust metal? Water isn't pure, it has calcium, scale, lime, minerals it's not harmless.
2- Yes it gets into the oil pan, if you read my post I said most only get it in the dipstick, I have it in the pan and oil filler neck.
I would if I had $750 just layin around. I know of the TSB
I have to warm up my car half an hour before I leave, drive for two hours and it's still there the engine can't get hot enough here, high's of 20 degrees, low's of 0 degrees. This car is not a cold weather car, it hates it just like I do.
